The Design
About Modern Chinese Primêre Funksie: Leunstoel
Modern Chinese is 'n leunstoel wat bedoel is vir sitplek en ook geskik is om as 'n kunsstuk uit te stal. Die vorm ontleen aan die tradisionele Chinese leunstoel en aan Marcel Breuer se No. B33-stoel. CNC-verwerking vorm laaghout en soliede okkerneut in 'n vloeiende en naatlose buitelyn, wat die hoekige dele en houtwerkverbindings van tradisionele konstruksie vervang. Die struktuur en die sterkte van die hout is bereken om liggaamsgewig te ondersteun. 'n Metaalbuisraam is eers bestudeer, maar hout is gekies vir sy warmer voorkoms.

- The most challenging part of this chair concept is to design proper structure and calculate wood strength enable to support people's weight. The original idea was to use metal tube and bending technique to create the chair structure, but the finish appearance looks too cold and contemporary, therefore, the material was switched from metal back to wood.
- Research
- For this project the idea/design was just pop into my head when I was reading a book called "Encyclopedia of China Traditional Furniture Making and Appreciation" Therefore, it is difficult to position this chair as a design piece or an art work.
- Inspiration
- Modern Chinese Armchair was inspired by traditional Chinese armchair and Marcel Breuer's No. B33 chair design. The original motive was not to simplified a traditional Chinese armchair into a modern looking one, but to borrowed the design from the past and infused with present technology and material to expand a new style of Chinese furniture.
- Project Duration
- The project started in March 2021 in Taipei, Taiwan and minor changes are undergoing
- Operation Flow
- Modern Chinese Armchair is mainly for sitting purpose but can also be viewed as piece of art work.
